Previous versions can't load files from later versions, and that includes the achievement list. That is intended and that's how it's working.
One could argue about that. Forward compatibility is not a rocket science in software development.

Re: Friday Facts #381 - Space Platforms

I'm with team "inertia physics for thrusters". It should't be very difficult to make the acceleration proportional to the thruster power. But of course, that bring the problem of deceleration: how do you ensure that you stop platform at the right place? Maybe make the engines "stock ...

Good. How about light and smooth shadows?
Challenge accepted ! :)
No, shadows should lie on the ground :)
With the distance, every shadow becomes blurry because the Sun is not a point light source.

Re: Help. I have a map with no Oil

am several hours into the game and just now noticing that there are no oil patches on the map. It is possible that oil patches exist, just in an unusual distance. Make a little cheat: enter edit mode in the console (in a separate game save to not ruin achievements) and look around in surroundings y...

Removing the ballast because there is concrete underneath would hardly be realistic.
The concrete is absolutely realistic.

Re: Friday Facts #377 - New new rails

The angles from the circular track are very close to 22.5° which is good for making circles look round and even given that 5²+12²=13². Actually, 1:2 slope ratio is the only clever solution in the game because it matches how we build sloped walls and other buildings. I just wanted players to not say...

Re: Friday Facts #377 - New new rails

May I ask for very large radius rail curves, for aesthetic purposes? They look more natural. Also, current curves might require significant train slowdown, so large radii would be useful.

Re: The big question: Are you going to try v2?

I definitely will try 2.0. Will I play it? You mean, will I abandon my unfinished megabase? I think no, unless some killer features will be introduced. Advanced rails will not kill my base. Anyway, I think I will not start large megabase in 2.0 at once, I will wait for most serious bugfixes and bala...
